Turntable of Pain

The history books repeat my life, the ache,
Without control, without relief.

The predictions come but too late to stop the heartbreak.

My life, forever spinning round,
a record stuck in pain.
Stop the spinning and give my heart a rest.

Like a ceaseless aching love song,
The tears are shed  but spin off to make room for more.

Is there no end to this heartache?
Not within this turntable of a life.
